She's an icon, she's a legend and Camden IS THE MOMENT
Come on now 🙌🏽how u doin
Now come on now...
Are we still saying that?
She's so going to win!
Everything about this was beautiful. The editing, the videography, the choreography, the music, Lady Camden, the ballerino, the outfit, that grand room, the voiceover message. I wish it were longer!
I feel that way about all of Camden's stuff. More please
I loved the dichotomies of:
-Drag: expressive clothing, brighter/colorful/taller/luxurious space
-Non-drag: monotone clothing, darker/single light/monotone/shorter/industrial space
Like, we can make simpler assumptions of what the meaning of this is. But it can also mean so many other things, which makes it artistically really beautiful!
@Tiago Baenre you do realize that dancers can in fact dance together beautifully without actually having intimate or sexual relations 🤷♂️🙄
She is breathtakingly gorgeous! Does she dance on pointe?
I just realized that she was a company Member at my ballet school in Sacramento. 🤯my favorite part about this was the port de bras it was so intimate! It’s always the little details that make a performance great! Well done
Love your name
you own a ballet school?
@@mattoneill1272 oh no sorry I meant the one I dance at 😅
@@amazedpanda6815 pls-
@@avacummings1953 He knew what you meant, Ava... Such a cool story... And, agreed, the port de bras was perfection. Keep dancing!
This actually made me tear up. The narrative, the ballet, the choreography and the music. Everything just came together with a beautiful explanation for the love of dance and its connection to Rex Wheeler...Lady Camden. You give people a sense hope and understanding by simply being you. New change, never stop. Continue to share your light with the world.
Rex Wheeler. That is the coolest name.
We need a lady Camden and Brooklyn Heights collab. Can you imagine... Ugh just gorg
Alot of people don't realize how incredibly strong you have to be in ballet. Not only strong but graceful and agile all at the same time. And Lady Camden is all of the above and just beautiful too. If Willow Pill doesn't win I hope that then it will be Lady Camden. They are both so awesome in very different ways. 👍💯✌🇨🇦😎🇺🇦
The double crown we needed
Who doesn‘t understand that? It’s pretty obvious.
Agree
My top 2 also!
Camden was runner up 😊
this was breathaking.. as a disabled person who did ballet for 10 years as a kid im crying... i miss dance so dearly and Lady Camden moves beautifully!
The vulnerability when he’s Rex! It’s amazing
That small moment at 2:24 when her partner lifts her just the smallest amount so her toes just barely brush the floor. That's the romantic moment every queen dreams of. They may not be aware of it - or even remember it - but seeing it, their breath catches but for a moment and a tear may collect on their waterline. Just to know there's somebody that can lift you up and catch you. That's beauty.
Nope. Every person wants that......everyone.
Yes at that bit I actually gasped! Perfection.
This and Denali’s ice skating to Otherside by Beyonce are so powerful to me without any of the cheekiness or camp that we do still love about drag. Brav!
Lady Camden once again proves her legend status! This whole piece is filled with emotions that I never thought I could feel, so naturally it just made me weep my eyes out. Incredible job!
придумала балет
@@olgabee9157 согласна полностью
"You went to a ballet boarding school, and still had to come out to your family?"
Made me laugh!!
Her runway was graceful and elegant as always. I just wish she had thrown in one or two classical ballet spins to really wow the judges. Maybe not possible in heals? At least she was safe to slay another day. This was beautiful.
yea you can’t do turns in heals since it involves coming up and down on the ball of your feet
I think she was surprised when the judges praised her look. Maybe she thought the ballet thing was redundant and michelle would ask her to show versatility, that’s why she didn’t want to highlight it even more. Or maybe i’m reading too much into it 😅
The fact that No one is acknowledging that she preformed a whole Pas De Deux IN HEELS!!! astounds me
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before
Rarely do you see someone so emotionally intelligent yet able to bring so much humour and lightheartedness to the world like Camden does. Her beauty reminds me of my own, and I think that’s really special
both versions were wonderful, but when you were natural the beauty of the dance dominated and and was breath taking
It is the makeup, Camden does drag, she is on RPDR currently
agree. the feet of any dancer completes the line and the heels just inhibited the movement. Would have loved if the costume part was exactly the same but in ballet slippers instead of heals. but still such a lovely film and very well danced by both. bravo.
Absolutely breathtaking
@@irisbjones Absolutely agree. I didn't even need a pointe shoe, as would be customary with the costuming... A slipper, or even nude/pink sparkly ballroom shoes that are split sole and meant to point. When she points in those pleather heels, it looks like the shoe is going to come off/doesn't fit/frog feet... It's so distracting from such a beautiful story and the otherwise gorgeous costuming, lighting, and set. Besides the shoes and close-up shots of the power outlets, you really feel like a part of her fantasy living her best life in that era.
@@margauxf4321 how do you know they are pleather?
Dancing can make you feel beautiful in a way that has nothing to do with the way you look
Not only did ballet give her hope, but that fine ass dance partner. But no on a serious note, I didn’t know this side to her, it’s truly passionate and exquisite.
Wow and I thought the runway presentation was stunning. This performance was breathtaking. The stripped down version was so intimate and emotionally raw while the full glam version felt glitzy and fabulous. Beautiful in two very different ways.
From the bottom if my heart, i want you to win so bad!! This was gorgeous.
the winner of season 14 slaying as always 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I might cry if she loses
@@astoldbynickgerr get ready to cry, sis. lol
I actually enjoyed watching Lady out of drag (Rex) performing ballet more so than when she was in drag. Simply because when out of drag I can really see her form better. Truly a strong and amazing performer. Hope to see more of Lady/Rex's ballet videos 💙
Lady Camden had me at "MAXINNE!!"
I love Lady Camden's Calm Confidence,
You Go Girl!
Camden Truly embodies TALENT….a true icon
Luke Willis produced a beautiful beautiful video about a beautiful person. Gorgeous filmography.
This was beautifully done. I felt it that just the two of them without the outfits had more impact. (My opinion)
This is so beautiful wtf. The tight and effortless elegance of lady’s dancing body is INSANE not to mention her dance partner- they are so fluid water is jealous.
This is beautiful, but the fact that those heels are stopping him from pointing his toes, it’s killing me. Has has such lovely lines aside from the shoes forcing his feet into that awkward position.
In any case, the athletic gifts of male-male partnering opens up so many possibilities as far as choreography goes. I love seeing it explored like this.
1:07 I don't know why but the way Brits say "hope" with their beautiful accent gives me really hope
Brings a whole new meaning to her "drag is on pointe"
This really is lovely tho. Good for her.
I feel like finally understood what I feel like when I'm dancing, the world just makes sense, I'm not scared anymore, I'm on top of the world, I am the most beautiful and delicate creature in the world, and I feel like i could take the world by hands, it just makes me feel alive
what abeautiful film, We're loving Lady Camden in Uk.She sweet adorable brave and fierce.
My favorite queen dancing to one of the greatest pieces of music ever? Perfection! All the best to you, Lacy Camden. Xoxo
The song is called "Clair de Lune" by Claude Debussy.
She's so beautiful and graceful, Camden you're a superstar
Talent, poise, versatility, camp, wit, congenial, and the list goes on.
When she was walking in the air. So breathtaking.
Lady Camden is absolutely captivating, especially here where she’s in her element.
Lady Camden provides that escape for those of us who don't have her talent.
Lady Camden makes me cry in a good way 💚
This was poetry in motion! My only complaint is why was it so short? More please 💃🤸🕺
Lady Camden's grace is stunning.
She is seriously the most graceful and beautiful drag queen. Seriously I love her
I had an amazing dance instructor that would tell us, "you didn't choose to dance...... Dance chose you....." ❤️❤️❤️
Holy shit, I absolutely love this piece out of drag even more than in drag! It’s a really beautiful pas de deux. I would love to see Rex dance live one day, as Rex or as Lady Camden!
this resonated with me..... I cried. Thank god I found dance, drag and Lady Camden... you are my Rugirl
One of the most sensitive, evocative and beautiful ballets I’ve ever seen. Bravo.
SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL I’M CRYING
2:23 had to rewatch this part multiple times because it was just so good
I keep coming back to watch this video again and again. It's so beautiful and tells so eloquently a powerful story.
I could watch Lady Camden dance for hours. She's just so mesmerizing.
wow camden! you're a true talent! a true super star!
I was wanting A SIGN from the DRAG GODS to help me making CHOICE for who I want to win. LADY CAMDEN is my SUPER QUEEN!
Once again, amazed at Lady Camden and the talent that you possess. This is beautiful, as are you! You're a winner baby! Why are you in Sacramento?? Come to L.A. Your star is waiting for you Lady Camden. Please know that 2 of your biggest stans are here. You have stolen our hearts & we cannot wait to see what is next for you!! AWESOME!
a fellow ballerina here. sadly i dont dance anymore but i love ballet and i understand. Rooting for you
That has to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I'm blown away by the majesty of it all. I just wish the link in the description actually worked so I could read the remainder of the synopsis.
Why am I so emotional watching this 😭
Beautiful, I don’t need a reason to love everything about Lady Camden.
I'm actually crying!!! I saw this first on the pointe shop and I cried bubbles of snott and everything...so so beautiful...she is so strong elegant and graceful
I absolutely love seeing both her in and out of drag. It's like watching a spinning crystal in sunlight and moonlight. I'm in love!
when you find something that feeds your soul, it is truly joyful..
Omg such amazing talent i love her the way her body express every single moment
Absolutely LOVE this, a stunning video in every sense of the word!! The beautiful choreography, the music, Camden's voiceover, the intimate filming/editing, the different feelings this piece evokes in drag/without... For me, Lady Camden is the icon, the legend, the moment & without a doubt the true winner of RPDR Season 14!! xx
😍💜💃💐🌟🩰👑🏳️🌈
Lady Camden you such a talented queen with a big personality, I hope to see you on all stars someday.
This is giving CONDRAGULATIONS YOU’RE WINNER of Rupauls Drag Race season 14!
Theres a video shot underwater titled "AMA" where shes dancing under water and its so breathtaking and. Beautiful, the most beautiful thing ive ever experienced where you are left crying and without words to explain the beauty of it, this here gave me the same vibes as well. Loved it!
I love that your performances are expressions of truth and freedom. You don't need to hide behind an alter ego because you show yourself through. Believe me, you have not hardened. I know that pain, but all I see is beauty. Thank you for making life beautiful.
I love watching her upper body move with such effortless grace & beauty 🥰
#TeamLadyCamden Just give her the crown already!
On top of all of the craziness of ballet she is also TUCKED absolute icon
Such a beautiful performance Lady Camden. Well done! This touched my heart. We need more of this.
Lady Camden is such a star.
Lady Camden is my personal pick to win this season. Willow Pill is a close second.
I kinda wish I didn't stop dancing :( it used to make me so happy..
Camden is so talented and she dances so beautifully 🥰
Holy shit, she's probably taking the crown this year!
WHY ISN’T THIS LONGER??? This was so poetic and beautiful 💜💜💜
this was insanely beautiful oh my god
So basically if World of Wonder was Riot, Lady Camden's Tutu Too Much look is a Legendary Look since it has it's own cinematic ♥️💜♥️💜
Oh Lady Camden…. I adore you and your art! Thank you for displaying beauty and sharing your talent with the world. My hope is that you have joy and love in your life and you feel loved. Keep being you!
Hearing her story while watching this beautiful video... I am not crying! Someone poked my eyes🤧
I loved watching this. One of my favorites from Season 14.
Lady Camden is THE MOMENT!!!! 💕
You are such a beautiful ballet dancer and I love that you are in heels instead of on pointe. Please never stop dancing because it brings me joy (especially as I am no longer able to dance)
she's genuinely so stunning...my goodness
I have chills. She is a true talent and beautiful inside and out.
when a beautiful human finds their talent then its pure art worth showing! pure class with kindness
Ending with a twirling dab - no choice but to stan!
#TeamLadyCamden
like michelle said, as well as other reviewers of the show, she's just a star.
You are beyond RuPaul AMAZING!!💗💗💗
I have 1 word to say " BEAUTIFUL "
Beautiful, my favorite from S14
I don't want my daughter to take ballet, but I do want her to watch/learn this gorgeous dance ♡ I know she would feel each beautiful trill of music and how these dancers turn it into a harmonic duo of sweet, light, tender movement, a spiralling love story in flight ♡ thank you for this video!
OMG... That´s so beautiful... Lady Camden stoled my heart.
Gorgeous. Beautiful dance, beautifully shot, beautiful message. Lady Camden is so talented.
Stunning! The out of drag version was also quite sensual.
Genuinely, this is just... a really good video.
manifesting her being this season’s winner
The stilletorina herself 😍😍😍😍
